Do small businesses need accountants?

Small businesses aren’t obliged to have an accountant, but it can be a significant burden ensuring that your accounts are in order and your tax returns are completed on time.

By handing over this complex responsibility to trusted accountants like Brearley & Co, you can focus on running your small business, safe in the knowledge that your finances are compliant.

Accountants can also ensure you’re maximising your finances and giving your small business the best possible opportunity to make a profit. Hands-on support like annual accounts and company secretarial are complemented by advisory services, which help you plan your finances effectively.

Accountancy services for small businesses: how we can help

Brearley & Co offer support across South Yorkshire thanks to our wide-reaching selection of accountancy services for small businesses.

We are accustomed to the unique demands of these businesses, and you can take advantage of as many of our services as you require.

Payroll

At Brearley & Co, we’re happy to take on the challenge that is running the payroll for a small business.

No matter the number of employees, payroll is another task to address every month and can drag you away from other important duties.

Our dedicated team can process payments for you, deliver payslips in a format of your preference, and even support with auto enrolment.

Cloud accounting

Our cloud accounting services ensure small businesses are compliant with the   Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative.

Fully digital-based tax systems are more efficient and reduce the likelihood of errors, but it can still be a challenge to get your business set up for cloud accounting.

Brearley & Co will make this process as painless and straightforward as possible, and the outcome is that you’ll have instant access to real-time data for your small business.

Financial advice

Shrewd financial advice can be an invaluable asset to small businesses, where even small tweaks can have a profound effect on profitability and growth.

Brearley & Co will take an objective view of your business and provide you with timely advice - in partnership with Alexander Calder.

We will utilise our network of connections to ensure you’re armed with all the necessary insights, and our strategic partnership with Alexander Calder Financial means that you’ll have further expertise at your disposal.

Why Brearley & Co?

While we understand the importance of compliance work, we strive to go one step further and bring added value through proactive services.

Small businesses can work seamlessly with our friendly and responsive team of experts, allowing us to shoulder the burden of your accounts and identify opportunities for improvement.

Ryan Smith, Director

I am thoroughly impressed with your document signing solution! I just signed the end-of-year documents, and the process was as smooth as could be. Your IT department or solution provider deserves high praise for implementing such an efficient system. As someone with extensive experience in this field, I can confidently say that many large organisations don't come close to this level of seamless, end-to-end capability!

I would highly recommend Steven at Brearley & Co Accountants. On Steven’s advice we moved to Quickbooks and it was a brilliant decision. He has helped to streamline our accounting so that it now runs much more efficiently. Nothing is ever too much trouble, even if the question is a rather minor one. He is always at the end of the phone or email if any advice is needed and responds to queries very quickly. Steven delivers a friendly, personal and professional service and his knowledge of Quickbooks is second to none. I cannot recommend Steven highly enough; he is an excellent accountant!
